Welcome to the site of Sean Williams (she/her); I have been teaching ethnomusicology and cultural studies at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington since 1991. In the 2025-26 school year (my 35th year at Evergreen!) I am teaching Ireland in History and Memory with study abroad in Ireland. I am currently awaiting the publication of Music at the Threshold from the Sacred to the Dangerous from Oxford University Press in May, along with my retirement from full-time teaching in June of 2026.
